Vader doesn’t ask Han any questions because that’s not the point of torturing him. Han’s pain and later Leia and Chewie’s heartbreak is what Luke senses while training on Dagobah. Vader knew that Luke would sense his friends pain across time and space, which is why he does what he does at Bespin.
I must say that I love this movie even more now after editing it than I did when I reacted to it. It's really hard to be as reflective as I would like after only watching it once. However, after watching over and over while editing, I'm so much more in love with the storytelling, the character development, the pacing, and overall world building of this movie. The set, the lighting, the costumes, and the music bring this universe together in such a beautiful way. I truly came to care for all the characters, and there were many moments that made me reflect even days after watching it.
Also, if anyone is curious, I will be reacting to these movies in release order. Thanks ❤
My mom saw this at the show when it 1st came out, & she knew what the dream meant.
It meant Vader is related to Luke, but in what way ?
Cause Luke never saw what his father's face looked like.
George Lucas was deep in Story Telling 🎞🎞
Kahla, you mentioned the swamp setting on Dagobah, there’s a documentary that shows how they built that set, it’s very interesting if you ever get a chance to see it. It’s hard to believe that it’s all built on a soundstage.
The outside shots on Hoth were actually shot on location in Norway, so yeah it was freezing. The battlefield shots were shot _ON_ a glacier!
@@troiler3 That's partly correct but not the entire answer. I waited in line for 3 hours to see it when it came out too. Then I saw it another 10 times in the theater, and another 100 or so since then.
It was actually a warning to Luke to beware of the dark side, lest he fall to the same fate as Darth Vader.
Luke: "I feel death, cold."
Yoda: "That place… is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go."
Luke: "What's in there?"
Yoda: "Only what you take with you."
Yoda: "Your weapons, you will not need them."
Then later Yoda pleading with Luke not to go: "The cave, remember your failure at the cave!"
That whole scene was a test for Luke to see how he handles confronting Vader. He wasn't supposed to kill him.
@@Nashalbeth Not the only exception. Both Aliens and Terminator 2 were better than the original. I liked Terminator better, but it is generally excepted by most people that it is the better of the two movies.
@@lewstone5430 Oh, wow! That’s really cool!
"When things don't go Vader's way, it's like 'Ok, who gonna die today?'" Nice rhyme.
I was a young preschooler when The Empire Strikes Back came out. The theater gasped when Vader told Luke he was his father. Someone yelled out, "Bullshit!" It was a great debate for the next 3 years on whether or not it was true. Imagine social media along with RUclips content creators back in 1980 would have been like while waiting 3 years for the next film.
You fr can’t trust a man in a mustache in a cape. 😂
PREACH!!! 🤣🤣
😂😂
"Don't be making all that noise you just snatching folks up in the snow.." I literally died laughing. I had to close the my window I was just coughing from laughing so hard I knew it would annoy a neighbor. Bless.
"I knew we couldn't trust a man with a mustache and a cape." LOLOLOLOL! I'm dead X-D
A lot of people dont understand the cave scene.
«What's in there? Luke asks.
-Only what you bring with you. Your weapons, you will not need them. Yoda replies.»
Luke chose to bring weapons to a place of evil so he was met with weapons, confronting evil which turned out to be his image.
Had Luke brought no weapons and peace, he would have not become the evil character in the domain of evil.
It was a bit of a clumsy metaphor, but it served as a warning to not become that what he wished to vanquish.
"...to MAKE! YOU! THINK!"
I think too many reactors forget that we like to actually see your reactions! You have me engaged and cracking up the whole time! I've already seen the movie. I'm here to see what you think. So many just stare. Awesome job!!!
"He got long distance force choking!" "He has like wi-fi, blue tooth, death grip, oh my gosh how often does that happen?' "Was it like, who got choked out today, well Billy did, Billy got choked out!" 😆🤣😂😃 Oh my gosh, Kahla you are so funny!!! @6:20 the music you like Kahla is called, The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme), and yes it is the jam, a musical masterpiece!!! This theme captures Vader's character & presence so well, which is Dominating, powerful, charismatic, proud, unique, dark, distinguished, yet Vader also has class, style, dignity, great posture, & a royal elegance about him, even though he's done some bad & wicked things in his life. We don't usually see antagonist with such a rich, regal & kingly bearing. Vader's one of a kind! 😉👍
Even if a person does know the twist ahead of time, I don't think that ruins the power of that scene. Seeing Luke's reaction to the revelation, and the circumstances that lead into that moment, still hits all the right emotional buttons.
You’re right. It didn’t ruin it. The moment is so raw and the build up is so intense, that it is hard not be affected by it.
@@Nashalbeth I think it caught everyone by surprise. I was shocked the first time. There are all these reactions of little kids reacting in complete shock to that moment. Those are my favorites. Star Wars may have been the very first attempt to keep something in the plot completely secret so it would be a surprise.
@@Nashalbeth Neither did I at first (saw it as a little kid when it was still pretty new), but I'm just saying that even with the knowledge ahead of time, the emotion of the scene still works even if it's no longer a twist.
If you decide to watch these again I’d search for the theatrical releases. A new hope and return of the Jedi are both heavily altered.
I slightly disagree. Yes, the scene has impact regardless, but if you have no idea its coming, when it does, most people are like "wait....WHAT???" and are absolutely stunned usually. The reaction is great either way, but just like any movie you may have never seen, its a twist that you don't really see coming.
I love how Chewie laughs when Leia says "I don't know where you get your delusions, laserbrain" lol
The revelation of Darth Vader being Luke's father is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest "Say whaaaaaaaaa?!" moment in movie history.
A lot of people miss the line in the first movie. When Obi says 'who is more foolish the fool or the fool who follows him?' Chewbacca growls like 'hey, why are you insulting me' Because he's following a fool. It was a shot at Han. Then Han pretends not to understand and scratches him like he's a dog and not a sentient being.
The composer, John Williams, is a GOD
Luke not listening to Yoda and rush to save his friends makes total sense since Han never hesited to rush and do the same thing. Like he said himself : "that's two now you're own me, junior"
I appreciate your honesty about knowing Darth Vader is Luke's father. It's an iconic scene, everyone knows about it including non-Star Wars fans. I feel like there are so many reactors that are faking surprise during that scene.
I've been Star wars fan since 77 so I was like 6 years old in 77 and I love the way you just catch on to everything that's going on you are amazing
Ohhhh! I've never made the connection between Han being tortured and Luke sensing that, specifically. They weren't interrogating Han. Vader was using his pain to lure Luke. Damn.
Omg, wait! That makes so much sense!
Yes, exactly. Vader was never a sadist-he did torture and kill, but not for fun or for spite
Gurl, you had me crackin' up!! I saw these movies in the theater when they came out. I was 7 in 1977 for Ep 4, I'm not sure I can relate what kind of cultural impact that these movies had. I also have never seen another reactor grasp the meaning of force as fast and completely as you have in only the 2nd movie, I'm impressed!! You are a treasure, so happy I found your channel 🩷
Aw, thanks so much! Happy to have you here
Vader was definitely holding back until he started using both hands on his saber
That tube they got Luke in it is a Bacta Tank. The Bacta is a healing goo (kind of a primordial soup, which contains all the elements the body are made of) that regenerates tissue way way faster. Isn't the Star Wars Universe awesome!!? That Space Slug or Exogorth, has "butterflies" in it's belly....lol
What was the temperature of the bacta tank?
Lukewarm 😂😂😂
@@carlosspeicywiener7018 😂😂
Wifi..... Bluetooth death grip......
You got a Mynock in your throat...
The employee turnover rate...
couldn't trust a dude with a mustache and a cape...
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LINES
subbed instantly.
I I love how you understand the Force and how it works...
I was 13 Years old in 1977 when I saw Star Wars and 16 Years old in 1980 when I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the Movie Theatre. Everyone was shocked and gasped when Darth Vader told Luke who he was.
In the scene where Princess Leia tells Han she Loves him and then Han said I know was improvised. During Filming Harrison Ford would keep saying he loved her back but it wasn't working. So during One take he goes i know. Harrison Ford told George Lucas that would be something Han would say. George Lucas agreed.
I was a preschooler when the ESB came out. The theater gasped too when Vader told Luke about his linage. Someone yelled out, "BULLSHIT!"
Space Yak....I LOVE it! Kahla, I love your reactions. You're very much engaged with the movie and provide constant commentary. I've seen this movie probably hundreds of times since 1980, watching it with you is like seeing it for the first time all over again.
Space Yak is now the official name for Tauntauns. :D
"Then I'll see you in hell! Yah!"@@ML-lx4su
Always loved the idea that Vader is so emotionally upset he doesn’t bother to punish his subordinates, but just walks out of the room
I always like how Han and Leia are arguing in the corridor whilst other Rebels are passing by pretending nothings happening! Hehe!
This came out when I was 14 yo and I developed a MASSIVE crush on Harrison Ford because of Han. The "scoundrel" scene made an impression on me as well, I gotta tell you! And then leaving the theatre in complete shock because of what Vader did to him and Luke. Between that film and The Wrath of Khan, Id never been so 'destroyed' by a movie.
ESB truly is a gem because it remains the one of the best SEQUEL films ever to have been made. I loved your reactions and you had me laughing so hard at your reactions to Leia and Yoda. I think if Lucas had paid attention a little more to how women reacted to this film, Return of the Jedi would have been a little different and there wouldnt have been this idea that Star Wars was only for little boys. There was, as you pointed out, so much going on at so many different levels that it drew you in immediately. ANH was astounding for its own time, but ESB made something new as well.
The people who wrote the script for ESB were Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan. Leigh was an exemplary, VERY WELL KNOWN and established sci-fi and screenplay writer who had been around for a long time. She was known for The Big Sleep (who she wrote the script with William Faulkner and a few others) as well as several very well known novels.
1. Han to Chewy, "Laugh it ups fuzzball"🤣
2. The scene in the cave is Luke seeing into his future if he were to turn to the dark side.
3. Do them in the original release. They were put that way for a reason. Jumping ahead ruins it for you and us.
4. IRL Ford and Fisher were having an affair. She was only 19 and he was much older and married. She put it in her biography before she died. She got an ok from him to put it in there.
5. Hans', "I know" was ad lib because Ford thought it's what Han would say, and required a new script change to be written in the next movie.
6. You will learn more about the emperor and Darth Vader in episodes I, II and III.
7. The next one wraps everything up and IMVHO is the best of the original VI Lucas episodes.
I’m definitely going to watch them in release order. I saw episodes II and III back in 2005 as favor to my brother, but now I’m starting from the beginning as a favor to myself. I’m still going to react to episodes II and III since it’s been so long since I’ve watched them, and I’m sure there’s so much that I’ve forgotten.
"Space Yetis" LOL another good one.
"WiFi Bluetooth Force" OMG where do you come up with this stuff! Hilarious.
"They gonna take an arm off with those light sabers." Yep everyone loses arms. It's one of the memes that go along with the line "I've got a bad feeling about this." Almost every main character has uttered that line at least once in a movie.
I still remember seeing Empire on opening day in 1980. I was not quite five yet and the Battle of Hoth, Yoda's teachings and the Luke vs. Vader duel were truly impactful moments for my young mind that would stay with me to this day.
We're the same age. The theater gasped when Vader told Luke he was his father and someone yelled out, "Bullshit!"
Me too! I was the same age. My big brothers were with me (I came along late-they are 16 and 19 years older) During the asteroid chase, one said to the other "This is awesome! Special effects are NEVER getting better than this!"
"Also, you got mynocks in your throat. " Bwahahaha! Oh, I'm having so much fun. ;D
Seeing the Vader reveal was an absolute life changer for me. I still vividly remember, I was six in my Virginia home and begrudgingly watching A New Hope and now Empire, and we get to that moment. And I want to say my jaw was on the floor with that reveal. I turned to my parents and just started babbling "He's lying, right?!!! He's got to be lying!!!!" I couldn't comprehend it
I want to say that was the first time that it ever dawned on me that the good guy could have a connection to the bad guy and that things weren't so black and white. It kind of made me realize just how powerful storytelling could be that it could make that much of an impact on someone.
20 something years later, Star Wars is my favorite franchise and has inspired me to write my own stories (or try to at least; do or do not I guess)
@7:32 “He has, like, wi-fi, Bluetooth death grip.” 🤣 Her descriptions are original and downright hilarious. I love ‘em.
Great reaction :) It was fun to watch!
In the cave scene, when Luke asks "What will I find?", Yoda answers "Only what you take with you". The cave is strong in the Dark Side of the Force and basically it shows Luke a few things:
1. It shows him what obsesses him (his hatred for Darth Vader)
2. After he decapitates Vader in his vision, it shows him that lashing out in hatred and anger will turn him into what he hates the most and cause him to fall to the Dark Side
3. It foreshadows the relation between Luke and Vader.
Regarding Luke's vision, few people realize that the visions themselves were a set up.
Not enough credit is given to Vader's understanding and mastery of the Force. When Luke had a vision of Han and Leia's misfortunes on Bespin, it was the future he saw.
Vader purposefully made Han and Leia suffer, going as far as torturing Han to use them as bait to draw Luke to him. This means he knew, as a Force user, that due to their relationship, their suffering would cause a ripple in the Force that Luke would sense in the past and come to rescue them.
Hence Obi Wan saying "It is you and your abilities the Emperor wants. That's why your friends are made to suffer."
Vader had the mindfulness and understanding of how the Force works to plan actions that would have consequences in the past and shape the present to his designs.
This is also why Obi-Wan and Yoda told him not to go (not play into Vader's hand), and the story proves them right : Luke does not help Leia and the gang at all. They escape all on their own. On the contrary, they end up having to rescue *him*.
Of course the Imperial March has bounce to it. Evil is seductive 😉
What I found fascinating, though, how Vader’s Theme wasn’t written until Empire-but Anakin’s Theme was later written to turn into it-and NOW… A New Hope is … missing that theme…
I mean, these scores are beautiful, but I have to wonder… what would A New Hope be if it did have Vader’s Theme?
Only three people knew the daddy Vader line when filming this. George Lucas, Mark, and James Earl Jones. Even the actor who played Vader said “You are your father.” Wild.
Wow! It’s crazy that they were able to keep it a secret till the last moment and also super cool.
And Irvin Kershner, the Director! 😊
Hi Kahla, I like your comments! I decided to write when you told CP30 "You don't go looking around corners and in rooms at stranger's places, you stay with the group." Then he gets blown apart!!
I found your Star Wars reactions tonight and really enjoyed them- you will do well!
Star Wars came out when I was 6 and has been very important ever since, and the music was particularly special to me. When I was 9, just after Empire came out, I bought the 8 track version of the soundtrack, and wore it out and had to buy another, since I loved it so much. I attribute my lifelong love of classical music to John Williams scores (esp SW) and Loony Tunes cartoons...ha
You said Vader has a Ph.D in the Force, but if you remember, he never even got his Masters. 😏
Oooh that's a Mustafar level burn
I have had rocky relationship with parents for various reasons and was angry in the past. But its hard to imagine if you found out your parent was this horrible person like Vader and what the emotions would feel like. Even if you want to separate it I am sure it is still very overwhelming. Great reaction and looking forward to next one.
“Your Daddy is impressed. But your Daddy is also kind of psycho.” 😂
When I first processed the Imperial March, I heard it as this thing full of power and oppression - like the Empire, something I didn’t feel good thinking about being in - but I was also in high school and developing musically and that theme, Vader’s Theme, Funeral March of the Future, was also really fun to listen to
I have a new favorite word: „Space Yeti.“😂
16:55 I've always taken this to mean that Luke needs to learn that he is his own worst enemy.
I just spent the last five minutes saying "Did Dak Get Got"
🤣
This remains the best Star Wars film. It will never be equaled, nor will cinema ever be able to have a reveal this unexpected.
The lesson in the cave on degobha confused me for a long time… but after reflecting on it .. just before yoda told Luke a Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense never for attack.. in the cave who drew their saber first? Luke did he wanted revenge for Ben .. in the end when it showed his face in the Vader helmet he was being shown that path leads to the dark side… this thought really got my gears turning.. what would the lesson have been if he listened and didn’t take his weapons in there like yoda told him not too ??
Yes, the reason why he said the cave has only what you take with you, is because it feeds off your fears. So a calm, in tune Jedi wouldn't be swayed by it. Luke was not confident in his abilities and so brought his weapons. And yes, it was a force vision, and foreshadowing, and a few other things....
27:30 "You got the equvilant of a middle school education" 🥰
"That's one thing they going to do in these movies. They going to take an arm off with a light saber." Damn that had me rolling! Humor aside, you are incredibly insightful on a first watch Kahla! Absolutely love your reactions 😊
What other choice did Lando have? Glad u acknowledged that. Lando had responsibility for that big station, its mining operations & all the people on it. Imagine Vader shows up w/Troops & the power of the Imperial Fleet behind him & tells u "what's what." What are you going to do? The history buff in me compares it to the Govt. of Nazi Germany during WW2 telling Companies like Mercedes & Volkswagen what they're going to produce, who their big customer is going to be, what they'll sell product for & what labor they'll use. Say "No, u can't make me" & stand by (for not very long) to see what happens to u. As Obi Wan said in Ep 4, "There are alternatives to fighting."
I love the fact that you were concerned about the mynocks in the giant eels mouth.
I *adore* your commentary! You are the real deal, m'dear! And you echo my feeling and reactions when I watched these in their original run! Two thumbs up!
Star Wars came out when I was 5-1/2 years old, this movie when I was 8-1/2 years old, and Return of the Jedi when I was 11-1/2 years old...... my friends and I knew the entire movie(s) by heart, word for word, and acted them out on the playground every day. Being the tallest of my friends, I was always Darth Vader. The first movie didn't leave any questions unanswered, as George Lucas was never certain it would be successful enough to warrant a sequel. It was this movie which left off on the cliff-hanger..... and it was three years before we got the answers. It was absolutely amazing seeing these movies in the theaters, as there had never been the special effects that were in these movies before. You're watching the CGI enhanced versions of the movies which George Lucas did as he was making the prequels to bring the effects on par with the technology which was available; and he added things in to tie into the prequels; but like many my age, I prefer the original theatrical releases better. I have all the original versions of every movie.
Due to having seen Episodes II & III, you already know the twists ~ but the revelation of Darth Vader being Luke's father in this one (which was the topic of discussion for three long years as to whether or not that was actually true), and then the revelation that Leia was Luke's sister in Return of the Jedi..... I really can't begin to relate to you just how it was growing up with these movies as they were being made. George Lucas also was the creator of the Raiders of the Lost Ark. He was too busy making these films to make Raiders of the Lost Ark, so he turned that project over to his friend Steven Spielberg. The man is just a master storyteller, and a creative genius. Dialogue, not so much. He brought in additional writers after the original Star Wars, and also turned over directing duties, which is why this movie is generally regarded as the best of all the movies.
You're seeing Yoda through the lens of having seen the prequels. When you watch these, you really need to try and see things from the perspective of haven't been seen before. Plus, you saw CGI Yoda. This Yoda was entirely practical effects, being puppeted by Frank Oz who was the puppeteer of Miss Piggy, Fozzi Bear, Bert, Cookie Monster and Grover (among others), working with Jim Henson of the Muppets and Sesame Street fame. In fact, Yoda's voice is quite similar to Grover's.
Yoda was essentially testing Luke which is why he acts the way he does at first, before becoming much more serious as we have come to know him afterwards. He wanted to see how Luke deals with frustration and impatience before developing his abilities further. In that regard, Luke is very much like his father.
And John Williams, well there's not much else to say about him that hasn't already been said. Arguably the greatest composer of our time.
Had lots of fun with your reaction. Already hyped for Episode VI.
Definitely best one for me .....starts off dark and ends dark ...the good guys don't always win.
"The Empire Strikes Back" is the BEST "Star Wars" movie and one of the GREATEST films of all time. Easily my favorite John Williams film score.
Ya know you're right, a lot really HAS happened in between the last movie and this one if you read the comics. Also yeah Luke received quite a shock there finding out that Vader was his father and he really shouldn't even have been facing him yet anyway.
This movie has two of my favorite lines in cinema history.
The first is when yoda looks at Luke an tells him "do or do not, there is no try" my dad would say it to us all the time growing up
Another is when Han is frozen in carbonite and leia tells him "i love you" and Han whos name should just be chad thundercock at this poit says "i know" toatally improvised by the way Harrison Ford felt it was not in Han's charecter to simply say "me to" back lol
lando wearing hans clothes at the end always makes me laugh,,,,,
I loved this reaction Kahla, you have so much passion for this film! Your running dialogue on what was happening also cracked me up! On top of all that you’re damn pretty! Looking forward to more.
Your comments were valid and funny af lol. Love the reaction
I still have this (and even scanned it)-a classmate made a comic book in 1982 for his take on "Revenge of the Jedi" (as episode 6 was called originally). It's pretty creative for a primary schoolkid, but of course nothing like the real movie. I need to dig that up and read it again
Hey Kahla! You have given us another great reaction, so thanx.
I saw this movie upon release in the theater, and was mesmerized! Little did I know, that for me at least, this film was peak StarWarz... After this, the schmaltz got too thick, and I soon dropped out of the SW universe. Hopefully, you'll have a more enriching experience! It's ok for me, cuz I could watch you comment on the drying of paint on the wall! Cheers
Your the best Star Wars reacter I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot
Loved your reaction to this one Kahla! There is so much more going on in this film than it seems. The carbon freezing chamber was meant to be a visual representation of Hell, with Vader being the devil, awaiting Luke.
I've just started watching...the movie hasn't even started yet...but I have to say your hair like that is giving me some Donna Summer vibes, which is a good thing!
Empire Strikes Back, especially Luke's journey, is very informed by Chinese Taoist philosophy. It's a beautiful work of art.
It's also kind of a game changer insofar as the Good Guys definitely LOSE this one. But it's still a great movie and our heroes take their lumps but live to fight another day.
Hahahahaha you’re so funny, really enjoyed your reaction. Can’t wait for episode 6
This was one of the first times in cinema where a sequel to a hit film was even better than the first. However, at the time, opinions were split on it, as many fans felt like the darkness of the story, and the fact that the heroes fail in this one, was a betrayal of the lighthearted fun of the original Star Wars.
Over the decades, of course, it's come to be seen as the best film in the franchise by most. :)
1980 was a good year for sequels. For me, this and Superman II were the ultimate sequels that year (well, I saw Superman II in '81-that's when it was in Canada)
When I am having a down day, and need to smile and laugh, I come to your channel, and I am never disappointed. ❤❤❤❤❤
Doc Vader: He’s got his PhD in The Force.
I just started watching your reactions to the Star Wars series. I'm a new subscriber this is my second time watching. Keep up the Awesome work sweetie. I watched these movies when they came out in theaters in the 70s and early 80s. Seeing them as a kid was great, waiting to see the next one Sucked. Can't wait for your next reaction have a blessed day.
Just imagine what it was like for us back in the day, when we didn't know that little green muppet was going to be a Jedi Master. That was a SHOCK. And we spent 3 long years waiting to find out if Vader was telling Luke the truth or if he was lying.
Hey Kahla, Fun Fact: There was a fake page in the script that Everyone got. Something like the day before shooting the big reveal, George Lucas brought Mark Hamill, David Prowse and James Earl Jones together and told them about the "real" line: It wasn't "No, Obi Wan murdered your father." like the fake script said. Not even the crew on-set knew what was going on. ...And that's how you keep spoilers out of it! :)
27:35
You are right. If you notice, Vader is only using one hand to hold his Lightsaber. He is toying with him the whole time.
I was 7 when Empire came out. My sister worked as assistant manager of a movie theater that summer. When my mom would go shopping, my sister would let me go sit and watch Empire no matter what time it started. I probably saw most of Empire about 20 times that summer.
If you ever get a chance, watch the Robot Chicken Star Wars episodes. How they handle the various Force-choke deaths is brilliant.
It’s petty, but it still upsets me that in the scene after the swamp monster spits R2 out, Luke no longer says “It’s a good thing you don’t taste very good.”
NEAT! You have a cool sister! We saw it in the drive in as a family
No fair. You're going to watch the next one right now. I had to wait three years. (1980 t0 1983)
I’m so sorry 😂
Great reaction! These movies were 3 years apart. Imagine being 9 and waiting till you're 12 to get the answers to this cliffhanger.
I was saying in an earlier comment that a schoolmate made a Revenge of the Jedi comic book in 1982 (he made his own story) I scanned it and still have it
@@SJHFoto too cool! I'm an artist and can testify that a lot of art was created to fill the void between films. What a treasure you have!
@@keithartworker It's neat because I knew the person and he had a good imagination, but I don't want to mislead you-we were little kids, it isn't "fine art" he made
@@SJHFoto "fan art" 🏆🏆😋
"You got mynoks in your throat" 🤣 15:57 Seeing these films in theatres is still the most epic cinema experiences I've ever had.
Your reactions are so much fun! I can totally see you're enjoying these stories. I'm hooked. I hope you do the Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones & Back to the Future films. After watching your Star Wars reactions, I really want to see your reactions to the new Dune films. Cheers 🥂
Luke, you have a middle school education in the Force. 😂 Subscribed!
Yeah, it feels like the storylines of Luke/Yoda and Han/Leia respectivly are on different time scales. Sometimes, it is implied in Star Wars that time moves at a different speed when being in intensive touch with the force. But at the time of making this movie, it was probably just convinient for the plot.
Space Yeti is my new favorite thing.
Space Yetti's!!! LOL!!!
6:20 Gotta admit my sole reason for playing more imp side since XvT was cuz The March is so cool.
"I'm sure the turnover rate [for being an Imperial officer serving under Vader] is very high."
Probably, but I seriously doubt it's as high as working at a Verizon Wireless Customer Support Call Center. 1/3 of my class either quit or were fired before our 6 week training class was over, 90% of those who remained didn't last longer than 7 months, and not a single member or our 35 member class lasted longer than 10 months. 4/5 of us who graduated quit before we could be fired. One of us needed therapy for what the stress of the job was doing to him weeks AFTER he quit. He didn't even have anxiety issues, it was just his first job out of high school.
@28:31 That sounded like David Prowse saying “damn”, instead of James Earl Jones saying “ohh!”
I love watching peoples' reactions to their first time watching Star Wars, and you'd be surprised how even though "Luke, I am your father" has spread into the popular consciousness just how many people don't realize that Vader said it or which movie in the saga it came from or any of the wider context around it, and how when they _actually_ get to the scene the plot twist still hits like it did in 1980.
Some of them even think that Vader's lying just to get Luke to join him, like James Earl Jones did when he read the line.
I think you're the first person I've watched who saw the prequels first and went in knowing who was who.
As for people saying it "ruined" the moment, it may not have been a shock or a surprise, but I don't think it's possible to "ruin" a great moment in a great movie.
Sure, it hits differently when it's a surprise, but it still hits even when you've seen the movie a dozen times or more too.
"LOORRRD, that's the moment. That's the trauma, look at the trauma."
Fun fact about that scene: they wanted that reveal to REALLY be kept under wraps. In the official script, Vader says, "No, Obi-Wan killed your father." Considering how they wanted Mark Hamill to react properly to this reveal, the director Irvine Kirshner came up to him just before filming this scene and said, "Look, I know this, George [Lucas] knows this, James Earl Jones will know this soon when he records the lines, and now you will know this. If ANYONE else finds out, we'll know it was you who talked."
Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford apparently had this little game they liked to play where, if they knew a secret they wanted EVERYONE to know, they would "Tell it to Carrie [Fisher] 'in confidence'." When they finally saw the finished product at its world premiere, Harrison Ford leaned over to Mark Hamill and whispered, "You didn't fucking tell me about that!"
It's not a "space yeti." It's not floating around in the vacuum, it's on the surface of a planet. It's a "planetary yeti."
Ah yes, the “planetary yeti”. My bad 🤣🤣😂
Already hundreds of subs with a handful of reactions? Ok I’m on board keep them coming ❤
Better than the first one. My favorite Star Wars movie 💪
Billy (Dee Williams) did, in fact, get choked out in this movie.
Omg! Your reacts are fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 chef’s kiss 😘👌
RIP Billy.
🤣🤣🤣 I almost spat out my drink reading this
So a lot of people say that the wampa (space yetti🤣) scene was to explain the fact that Mark Hamill (Luke's actor) was in a car crash between the two movies and looked a little different due to his injuries. There's debate about it back and forth about it (George Lucas says it was just to build tension, Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) claimed it was specifically to explain Hamill's change in appearance)
I love empire strikes back one of my favorite star wars can't wait for you to watch return of the Jedi
We do not know how much time passes in the Empire Strikes Back exactly, but the Millenium Flacon flies to another star system without a hyperdrive, so it could take it weeks, months or even more!
I think it was time to advance Luke's training and Leia&Han relationship enough.
Empire is the best Star Wars out of all of them its a perfect 10 out of 10
another great reaction. so many choose this as a fav, but it's my least fav of the originals lol. i am the force & the force is with me.
New subscriber, new fan (Louisville, Kentucky, best town on earth). You're so good!
